> Newtonian physics cannot even predict the future positions of three body from their initial positions. You're confusing chaotic systems with random systems. Chaotic systems are still deterministic. [1] > according to Newton, God once in a while nudged the orbits to make them move correctly according to Newtonian doctrines Newton thought that because he didn't know perturbation theory. Perturbation theory doesn't change the laws, it reformulates them as "simple thing + small tweaks + more complicated even smaller tweaks + ...". This allows you to quantify how stable the solar system is. 1: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaos_theory https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaos_theory "these systems are deterministic, meaning that their future behavior is fully determined by their initial conditions, with no random elements involved"
